Stop being so negative toward our teachers. Give them some praise. They are with the kids probably more waking hours than the parents and deal with many more issues I’m sure than just teaching a subject. I’m so tired of people saying teachers have it easy — in at 7:30 a.m. and out at 2:30 p.m. Wrong. When do you think they plan the next day’s lessons or plan tests or correct papers or tests? After school hours or in the evenings or on weekends when they would love to be playing with their children. So please stop the negativity comments and give some positive ones for our teachers. They are good and they work hard for our children. I’m a grandparent of a student calling from Center Conway.
